A female issue

Dear Rupa
Last week we read this article in the Guardian and thought of you who
look after the ones who survive...
Can people be that horrible really?

Actually the answer to all this is very simple; EDUCATION.
We are dealing with humans who have not learned anything except how to survive, and as we know survival make us do the unthinkable, the unimaginable. We see this so much with our SMS children, recently we had an instance of two sisters, one died for not good reason, she had some stomach pain, and went on and off from hospital for weeks until she died. We did not know until two week after she had died, in the family nobody informed us even though she had been coming to our school for the last four years. And more striking her younger sister which must be 9, or 10 came to school regularly and never said to anyone, my sister is sick or my sister is dead. We came to know by doing our regular monthly check up on the kid's attendance. can you imagine? Your sister die and you do not even talk about it to anyone?
These children are used to much more hardship than we can ever imagine, and so is most of the 1.2 billion Indians who walk this land.
